Porcine
Epidemic Diarrhea

What you need to know about Porcine Epidemic
Diarrhea Virus (PEDV). Additional, periodic updates will be sent as new and
relevant information is available.

PEDV was confirmed for the first time in U.S.
swine herds in mid-May 2013. While PEDV is not a new swine disease globally, it
is new to the United States (see most recent states/cases by going to this webpage http://www.aasv.org/pedv/PEDv_weekly_report_140319.pdf.

Key Points about PEDV

● It is widespread in many countries.

● It is not a trade-restricting disease.

● It may appear clinically to be the same as
transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus with acute diarrhea.

● Producers who suspect that their herd may
be infected should work with their herd
